The Greatest Mistake

It was a midwest summer,
I remember the days, that
I counted and couldn't,
Keep it the way that,
You always kind of wanted,
With that devilish grin,
Those beautiful eyes,
They pulled me right in
Then the seasons changed,
And the days seemed few,
Those hazel tinted eyes,
Seemed to turn so blue,
Hated to see you cry,
Things that I couldn't change,
Slowly tore us apart,
We had to turn the page.
And you're the biggest mistake,
That I never made,
We were too close to fake,
And I let it fade,
And you can't point fingers,
When love's just a game,
I let myself linger,
Just to feel the same,
And when you say what you say,
And you do what you do,
It kills me every single time,
When I see you,
You're the biggest mistake,
That I never made,
Because I went and left,
When I should have stayed
Girl and maybe someday,
We'll meet again, won't
Make the same mistakes,
And you'll be patient,
Maybe someday this life,
We dreamed but never had,
Will show up at our door,
And I wouldn't be mad,
Because remember the time,
We spent the whole damn day,
And we had nothing to do,
But we made our way,
The times we loved the most,
The ones that I forget,
They're gonna haunt me until,
The day I see you again,
And you're the biggest mistake,
That I never made,
We were too close to fake,
And I let it fade,
And you can't point fingers,
When love's just a game,
I let myself linger,
Just to feel the same,
And when you say what you say,
And you do what you do,
It kills me every single time,
When I see you,
You're the biggest mistake,
That I never made,
Because I went and left,
When I should have stayed
I loved her,
I lost her,
I'll never,
Forget her,
(repeated)
And you're the biggest mistake,
That I never made,
We were too close to fake,
And I let it fade,
And you can't point fingers,
When love's just a game,
I let myself linger,
Just to feel the same,
And when you say what you say,
And you do what you do,
It kills me every single time,
When I see you,
You're the biggest mistake,
That I never made,
Because I went and left,
When I should have stayed
